Abstract

One of the issues in teaching English to young learners is students’ low mastery of vocabulary due to unattractive learning activities. The lack of vocabulary mastery causes students’ low achievement. This case also happens in Windeerlust Course. Therefore, the researcher conducted this study.  The purpose of this study was to find out how digital flashcards were integrated into the learning process. The study was carried out in a class that consist of seven students at Windeerlust Course. The methodology implemented in this study was Classroom Action Research (CAR), which entails four steps: planning, data collection, observation, and reflection. The researcher used field notes, questionnaires, an interviewing guide, an observation checklist, documentation, and tests to gather data. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were used for the research data analysis. Qualitative analysis was implemented to find the student learning behavior that was represented in their learning using flashcards. Quantitative analysis was implemented to measure students' vocabulary scores both before and after the research. The findings of this study demonstrate that utilizing digital flashcards to teach vocabulary increases students' attention and enthusiasm. Additionally, it has been discovered that using digital flash card might help children comprehend language better.
